Great Comments

On the first hand everyone says I made a monster flop. Did I? Should I be willing to go broke on what could end up being a flush draw? What am I trying to accomplish by raising big here? Am I likely ahead on this flop? I know if I am not ahead I have outs but what is the purpose of raising here.

The QQ hand is all good advice. I think I call on these hands sometimes to see if I can hit a good flop. I should just re-raise pre-flop and when he comes over the top of me fold.

Hand three is the one that I consistantly play poorly. My main problem is TPTK is a shit hand and I want to keep the pot small in case I have been outdrawn. I for sure had to fold that river but how do you play TPTK? If I lead out with $5 then do I bet the turn and pot commit myself? Do I drop it there? Am I willing to go all in? How the hell do you play these kinds of hands. The TPTK is the most common and hardest to play hand for me.

The first hand is indeed huge. You flopped top pair + a flush draw. Any Queen, ten or club should give you the pot. You should be betting and raising with these kind of flops all day.

As for the AK hand, control the size of the pot by checking on the turn. If anyone called a bet on this draw heavy flop, you need to re-assess where you stand at that point. TPTK doesn't really look good on that board.

At $25 nl 6 max I'm not sure a reraise with QQ really tells you where you are.Use your instincts and PT with GT+ because so much depends on the table and villian in the hand.If you did reraise and were raised back it shouldn't be an auto fold imo.

Know your villians and their standards is what I'm trying to say.At $25nl I'd call an all in with AQ v many very loose tilty fishies but fold it without blinking if he was a TA.
